The Informatics Research Institute takes a prime position in the life of the School of Computing, Informatics and Media. There is a strong spirit of innovation in the school due to the long experience of leading-edge research in both core computer science and in collaborative interdisciplinary work at the boundaries between computing and application areas that are also dynamic research fields within the University.
We currently have a number of research students working in various disciplines throughout the Institute.
Notable strengths include computer/mobile networks, image recognition, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, computer graphics/games, data mining, new/digital media and studies of the Sun.
The Institute is divided into the following five discipline areas:
